Life's Rhythmic Joy
Heart of God
Isn't it comforting to know that we are a part of something truly miraculous? Hindu poet, philosopher, and artist Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) wrote Gitanjali and The Religion of Man and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, the first Asian to receive this honor. "The mountain remains unmoved at seeming defeat by the mist," he once said.
The youngest of 14 children, he wrote his first poem when he was seven. His beautiful and poignant writings played a critical role in India's cultural emergence in the latter 19th century.
"The world speaks to me in colors, my soul answers in music," he said. A poet, a seeker, an artist, Tagore has been called the greatest Bengali writer, profoundly changing the scope and depth of the language with his wisdom and insights.
"God respects me when I work and loves me when I sing."
"The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day in rhythmic measure. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth into numberless waves of flowers." ~ Rabindranath Tagore
We are all a part of the same, great body. The beat, our beat, unifies our hearts and our spirits with love and light. Listen, feel, and celebrate the connection.
The beautiful rhythm of life is constant. Tune in to the joyful beat.
